The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
Oh! If only I could be around when the explorers of the future set foot on the New New Worlds! Such tales of hope and excitement they would surely bring to our weary lands!
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza

I am a complete sucker for the Space age. The sense of excitement and adventure that was present in the 50s and 60s is sorely lacking in modern times.

Humans "just" need to figure out a way to extend longevity by a few hundred years and outsmart the cosmic speed limit. But c'mon, we're the species that went from cave-dwelling to moon-walking in a few thousand years!

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)  (January 7, 2015 at 6:56 am)Pickup_shonuff Wrote: But c'mon, we're the species that went from cave-dwelling to moon-walking in a few thousand years! We also went from stone throwing to nuclear bomb throwing. And that may be a problem in the long run. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)
Blow them up! They are heathens!
